Answer:

32.894 seconds ≈ 33 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Function : Q(t)=Q_0 e^{-kt}

The function models radioactive decay of krypton-91.

The decay constant k is approximately 0.07.

Q_0 denotes initial amount .

We are require to find How long will it take a quantity of krypton-91 to decay to 10% of its original amount

\Rightarrow 10\%\times Q_0

\Rightarrow 0.10\times Q_0

So, we neet to find t at which Q(t)=0.10 Q_0

0.10 Q_0=Q_0 e^{-0.07t}

0.10 =e^{-0.07t}

Taking log both sides

\log0.10 =-0.07t \log e

\log0.10 = -0.07t \times 0.434294481903

-1 = -0.0304006137332t

\frac{-1}{-0.0304006137332} = t

32.894= t

Thus it will take 32.894 seconds ≈ 33 seconds a quantity of krypton-91 to decay to 10% of its original amount.

The "k" value should have units and should be negative.
k = -.07 / seconds
Half-Life = ln (.5) / k
Half-Life = ln (.5) / -.07
Half-Life = -.693147 / -.07
Half-Life = 9.9 seconds
(actually, wkpedia says half-life of Krypton 91 is 8.57 seconds)

elapsed time = half-life * log (bgng amt / end amt) / log (2)
elapsed time = 9.9 * log (100 / 10) / 0.30102999566
elapsed time = 9.9 * 1 / 0.30102999566
<span><span>elapsed time = 9.9 * 3.3219280949 </span>
</span><span><span><span>elapsed time = 32.8870881395 </span> </span> </span>
<span>elapsed time = 32.89 seconds (rounded)

PLZ HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST WORTH 10 PTS THX!!
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

  64/49

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  (a^b)^c = a^(bc)

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

  a^-b = 1/a^b

  a^0 = 1

_____

Using these rules, we can simplify the given expression to ...

  \left(\dfrac{8\cdot 4\cdot 2}{8\cdot 7}\right)^2\times\left(\dfrac{8^0}{7^{-3}}\right)^3\times 7^{-9}\\\\=\dfrac{8^2}{7^2}\times(8^{0\cdot 3}\cdot 7^{3\cdot 3})\times 7^{-9}\\\\=\dfrac{64}{49}\times(8^07^{9-9})=\boxed{\dfrac{64}{49}}

viva [34]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>If she  continues to throw darts 75 more times, she could predict to hit the </h2><h2>bull's-eye 15 times.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Shay found that she hit the bull's-eye when throwing darts \frac{2}{10} times = \frac{1}{5}.

In five times, she will hit the dart once.

If she  continues to throw darts 75 more times,

the probability that she will hit the bull's eye =  \frac{1}{5} (75) = 15 times.

If she  continues to throw darts 75 more times, she could predict to hit the

bull's-eye 15 times.
